Digital Cartography [140]

There’s no way around it: Opening this edition of Digital Cartography, we have to feature some of the most impressive maps depicting the shocking results of the US Elections – a topic we’ve already covered in two previous posts (here and here).

It’s been a while since we brought you this round up of interactive maps, so besides these US Elections-related maps (by the way, we recommend two great reads about this, from The New York Times and The Washington Post), you’ll also find a lot more to explore from the top publishers and information designers out there, on a variety of topics. Yes, another one of those huge posts.

So, save some time to explore it, and without further ado, here are the interactive maps that caught our attention recently:
